McGrath Thunderhorse – Pool Blue
This Thunderhorse IV, finished in a striking Pool Blue, is a refined evolution of our signature design. Based on the popular model showcased at NAMM 2026, this bass features an updated neck pickup position—moved back 3/8" to provide ample clearance for slap players.
The body and headstock are uniquely hand-painted by Madelyn McGrath, making this instrument a true work of art.
